Article 114 of Jaafari Personal Status Law

English translation

The wife does not acquire ownership of the dwelling as against her husband; rather, it is a matter of use, not transfer of ownership. As for jewellery, appliances, and implements that the husband purchases for her personal use, and cosmetic products, they become her property as soon as she uses them.
Arabic original
المسكن لا تملكه الزوجة على زوجها ، بل هو من باب الانتفاع لا التمليك، أما ما يشتريه الزوج من حلي وأجهزة وأدوات لانتفاعها الخاص ووسائل التجميل يكون ملكا لها بمجرد استخدامها لها.
